The Faculty of Arts and Sciences last night issued the following list of changes in courses for the second half year:

New Courses

History 15--History of Russia. Half-course (second half-year.) Tu., Th., Sat., at 11. (Mr. Karpovich. (XIII)

English 80--Pope and the Poetic Tradition of His Century. Half course (second half-year). Saturday, 9-11. Professor Robert K. Root (Princeton University).

The instruction in this course will be in part by lectures: but at least half the time will be given to the reading and discussion of papers written by the students. Besides the preparation of occasional short reports, each student will undertake the investigation of some topic within the general field represented by the course. This investigation will involve a large amount of reading besides that assigned to the class as a whole.

The course should be chosen only by students who already have a considerable acquaintance with the literature of the period. A fluent reading knowledge of French is essential.
